Financial Impact
"I never really made any more than $30,000.00 per year my first four years in my financial planning career. The very first year I met my coach, through working with him and being accountable to myself and making changes in all aspects of my life and keeping good balance I actually made about $100,000.00 the very first year that I was with my coach. The second year I was with my coach I made about $150,000.00." |

Fitness & Weight Loss
"I was 35 lbs. overweight. Sometimes when that one area of your life is out of balance it affects all the other areas. And so through a rigorous system of accountability with my coach and brainstorming on how to realize weight loss and balance in the physical aspect of my life I was able to lose 35 lbs. over the course of about six months." |

Relationship Enhancement
"I started to realize that if you don't actively cultivate your relationship with your spouse it will become stagnant, and so I became very good at understanding what it took 'fill my wife's Love Bucket' which is a term I often used with my coach. One thing that's come out of coaching that's been really a blessing has been an enhanced relationship with my spouse and my children." |

Focus
"For me coaching really helped me focus in on what I want to accomplish in this life, what my goals are, but most importantly what my mission statement is; to encompass how I want to focus on my goals and my relationship with my husband and my children, and what my impact on my community can be. So for me, it was the mission statement, and setting the values and the various goals, that's how coaching really helped me focus." |

Balance between Work & Family
"I feel empowered and encouraged by my coach every single time we meet together. The first question that my coach asks me when we speak on a weekly basis is, 'Tell me about the successes?', and I think about on any given day, or any given week the successes could range from the golf tournament that our foundation benefited from where in one day we raised $360,000.00 for charity, or the fact that I went to my daughter's final soccer practice yesterday because I knew that that was as important as a quarter of a million dollars in charitable funds." |

Creating a Vision
"One of the things that my coach had me do was to view myself at my 50th birthday party, and to write, from the perspective of my wife, what I would hope that she would say. That was an incredible experience for me, one of the most meaningful experiences that I had because I was able to have a vision of the future. I saw into the future what I hope that my would feel about me when I am 50, and the things that she said felt so good to hear that it made me now come back to the present and want to start doing those things in my life." |

Filling your Toolbox
"Coaching is a common vehicle, it really doesn't matter what area of your life it is, it helps fill your toolbox so you can build that foundation deal with your career, your relationships—because it's all relationships, it all is, right? Your career is based on relationships; your marriage is based on relationships, friendships. It helps with personal development. So I think the best way to describe that has just been the construction of a solid foundation." |

Developing Personal Leadership
"I think one of the most interesting things I did with my coach was go through and establish a Mission Statement. When you establish a Mission Statement you really have to figure out what life is all about, and what it's about for you; what's important to you. It's almost like a treasure hunt in your own life to find the things that are important to you. A lot of us, particularly if you're an adult, haven't done that in a long time. Once you graduate from college and start your job, most of us at least kind of let life happen. You don't really take personal leadership of your own life. Coaching can really help do that." |

Clarifying What Matters Most
"When I started out coaching it was termed, 'What matters most, to me?' I had to define those things, clearly, so that when I explained them my coach understood exactly what I wanted to achieve. That is how I started out, 'What matters most, to me?' That involved all aspects of my life." |

Developing Self-Confidence
"My coach sensed that I was an introvert, and that I had a little bit of anxiety meeting new people. He suggested I get started on some readings, some goals that we addressed. I started out small... that helped me get out of the shell so now I am actually looking for things to do... I am always on the go and that has helped a lot." |
